No images are displayed at all after new installation

[boismenu]

Hi!
I just installed version 1.7.1 on a new server and all the links to images, template and uploaded, are broken!
I set the permission on the directories as usual (CHMOD 777) and I can create users, categories, etc. The only problem is the link to images.

One note, MySQL is running on the main domain (www.boismenu.com) and I installed 4Images on a subdomain (www.boismenu.net) placed in a subdirectory of my main domain. So www.boismenu.com is the root of the server and www.boismenu.net is on "/net/" directory. 4Images path is "/net/gallery/".

Is the first time I do this, could this be the problem?
If I don't make sense let me know and any help is very much apreciated. Thank you!

One more note, I have not made any MOD. I installed one extra template to see if the default was wrong but the result is the same.
If you need code to help me let me know and I post it.

I dont see any gallery on either of the links...

[boismenu]

Sorry, my mistake. The gallery is on www.boismenu.net/gallery

Thanks!

I found the following post on Google's cache:
http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:2_TDndQDfRMJ:4homepages.de/forum/viewtopic.php%3Fp%3D9788%26sid%3D750ce255210a3ee1ae98ef9c3a5c44a7+broken+links&hl=en

It seems that 4Images and subdomains or forwarding URLs does not work fine together. I'll try to set SCRIP_URL to http://www.boismenu.net/gallery
If this does not work then I'll move everything to the main domain and try again...

I'll let you know the result.
Thanks, Pierre

Well, changing SCRIP_URL to 'http://www.boismenu.net/gallery' and http://www.boismenu.com/net/gallery' didn't work.
But if I access the site with the following address everything is in place:

     http://www.boismenu.com/net/gallery/index.php

Why?
I guess I can redirect www.boismenu.net to the link above, but it doesn't look nice...
Any suggestion is still welcome!

This is very wierd...if I try open the images directly they are showing just fine, after that they are appier on the page too...but ones I refresh the page, they again get broken...

Its hard to tell what could be wrong, perhaps some specific server configuration or maybe there is something in your .htaccess file?

I'm out of ideas...

[boismenu]

Thanks for your help V@no!
The problem was indeed in .htaccess I added www.boismenu.net to it and voila! everything is in place.
Here's the code just in case is usefull to anyone:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://boismenu.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://boismenu.com$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.boismenu.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.boismenu.com$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://boismenu.net/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://boismenu.net$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.boismenu.net/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.boismenu.net$      [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ 404.shtml [R,NC]

The lines with boismenu.net and www.boismenu.net where missing.
Thanks again!

please note, that people who has privacy control software or such installed and blocking referrer page, they wont be able see the images at all...

[boismenu]

Thanks again V@no!
I will either delete the lines on .htaccess or put a note with the link www.boismenu.com/net/gallery for the people that has privacy control software.
In any case, for me is important to understand why it was happening.
